Overview:

Prior to the invasion of Poland tensions grew, and the Poles began to take precautionary measures. Reserve noncommissioned officers were trained, and the post office in Danzig was fortified, including removing trees to open fields of fire. By the time of the invasion, they had nearly 60 personnel, in addition to other workers and militia in the surrounding area. As the day approached, the SS had a force of over 1500 soldiers, reinforced with armored cars. SS commander Johannes Schafer waited, ready to direct the occupation of Polish strongpoints: the railway station, the signal box, and the post office.

2025-02-03(D) Jon Jaramillo vs Brett Snyder Polish win6 hrsI played the defending Poles in this one as we work our way through the entire PiF pack. I set up heavy in or near the Post Office. The Partisans set up where they had to but I immediately abandoned that building to try and protect the PO. My first bit of luck came when he big moving stack came adjacent to my HIP -1 ldr -1 hero and squad with LMG. I hit him with a little 12 -4 and broke everybody. I was then able to take out both trucks towing the AT guns so those never got into play. The last bit of luck was that due to some bad luck, he opponent never got a single shot out of the flamethrower until finally getting one with the game all but decided. I think the FTers are the key to victory as you'll bang away all day at Fanatics in +5 terrain and not get any results. Throw a stun on or a CX and now you're +6. Even DM those squads rally in the PO with the 10 -1 leader with a 6. This scenario is not highly rated, I would imagine getting a lot of mediocre votes from the Poles taking a beating if they didn't play defense properly, but I thought it was a lot of fun. Very tense and a lot of decisions to make whether to stand and fight or skulk away and let the Germans remains unmolested in close proximity. For the most part, I chose to avoid his FP and fight when I had to.

2025-01-24(D) Richard Jenulis vs Ed Barnes German (SS) winWinter Offensive - round 2
2024-05-19(D) Caleb Elledge vs SS Polish winThe Germans didn't set aside enough troops to deal with the partisans and were hung up on that objective for a long time which divided their troops. This caused them not to be able to crush the Polish forces which were almost all held up in the post office, with most of the Polish decoys in the other buildings between the post office and the german start position which slowed the cautious german player's advance. He was also very unlucky that he rolled a 12 on his first flamer roll and his second flamer was broken before he could fire. Overall, if the german player had focused all his attention on the partisans, then the post office, then he might have been able to crush the Poles easier.
